Property management fees remain unchanged at 3% of the passing rent of properties managed.
It has also been agreed to amend the calculation of the performance fee, to calculate it with reference to the average daily closing share price during the last month of the period rather than the closing price on the final day, which will reduce any volatility in that calculation.
